Learning and Inquiry Process Society for Inquiry-Based Learning And STEAM

Focusing on the process itself, such as "inquiry" and "dialogue" in STEAM education, we have named it Society for Inquiry-Based Learning And STEAM (SILAS).
This name clearly expresses a crucial element of STEAM education: "inquiry-based learning."
The English pronunciation of SILAS is represented by the phonetic symbol /sailəs/. Si- (sai) -las (ləs)

Etymology and Origin

The name SILAS is originally derived from the Latin word Silvanus and the Greek word Silas.
It means "forest" or "tree" and is also known as the name of the ancient Roman god of the forest.
The meaning of "forest" or "tree" that the name SILAS holds is linked to the ideals of STEAM education.
The content combines the image of the forest's "life," "growth," "diversity," and "inquiry" with the "creativity," "depth of learning," and "connections" of STEAM education.

Concept: "Growing Learning"

This phrase expresses how learning richly grows, much like the trees in a forest.
"Nurturing the forest of learning, raising the trees of the future."
We now stand at the beginning of a new journey, where we discuss the future of STEAM education across national borders.
We sincerely hope this society becomes a vibrant place of development where educators from around the world connect and share their mutual knowledge.
Every single idea born here will become a solid force to create the future for our children.
SILAS is more than just an academic society.
It is a platform where educators from around the world gather to discuss freely and collaboratively solve challenges.
We believe that innovative educational models will be born from this cross-border dialogue, spreading to classrooms worldwide.
We sincerely look forward to your active participation and the sharing of your ideas.
